Previously led data teams in banks and you’re right. There are dozens of flags for test accounts. When auditing, we screen out these accounts. Of course, with a proper data cleaning process, analytics gets a lot easier

Personally, I’ve mostly used LinkedIn, email and a spreadsheet but I’ve seen other tools like personal CRM float around. LinkedIn and other social media tools are great because you can always comment on things other founders have/share

What resources are you looking for in particular? There are plenty that apply to freelancers/consultants that would apply with a quick Google search. Ideally, it would be useful to setup a corporation to limit personal liability and ke
